My neck is out. It hurts when I move it more than about 30 degrees.
My back hurts.
My jaw is tight and my eyes are bloodshot.
It is so hard not getting more than 4 consecutive hours of sleep! It is so hard getting out of bed three times per night in response to a crying baby! It reeks havoc on your body!
And then I recall: "This is my body, given for you." In the Eucharist, Christ gives His body for us. When we give our bodies to care for and nourish our children, we are a tiny, minuscule reflection of Christ's love for us.
God, help me to see all these aches and pain as beautiful!
